The Real Face of Jesus

I just have to post this before I go to bed….

EP and I just watched The Real Face of Jesus on the History Channel. Until recently I had never heard of the Shroud of Turin…like, Wednesday. I think I had heard it mentioned but never compelled to research it. Thursday I looked at the Wikipedia definition and couldn’t really see it… Anyway, this program blew my mind. I thought, you know, they’d just show how they got to the image, but it was SO much more. I can’t even put into logical sentences all that I just learned, but let me tell you one thing- I have never been so, what’s the word, convinced scientifically?? I feel like that is an incorrect way of saying it as I don’t need to be convinced, but do you know what I’m saying???

The evidence around this shroud is amazing. Most specifically the unexplained lighted that caused the reverse image….I just, there are no words.

Of course, I’m sitting there floored and trying to talk to EP about it and his only response was, “of course.” No shock at all. I’m not shocked…well, yeah, I guess I am. It’s all so perfect and amazing.

I was already planning to read again the passion before going to bed tonight, but something tells me that tonight it will jump off the page.

I stand in AWE of my Savior. Every single thing He did was perfect and has purpose….including this shroud.

On another note, we really enjoyed making the cookies with SB before bed tonight. We really discussed each portion and, for a four year old, I was amazed at how well he understood. I was also so pleased that when EP was putting him to bed he requested to read “that story we just talked about.” What a sweet spirit developing in the boy. :)
